The Sims Medieval Review

I have grown up with the Sims games, the Sims range now has a most welcome addition – Sims Medieval from EA games.
Available on PC / Mac, The Sims Medieval is as expected. Slick, polished and a heap of fun. Interaction is easy and you get to control every character from Monarch, Knight, Spy, Wizard, Physician, Blacksmith through to Bard and more.
You start by playing as your kingdom’s monarch, enabling you to customise your attire and living quartersand even your personality traits.
The game has huge depth as you can go on to play as other Hero Sims who, like their monarch, have their own quests and ambitions to accomplish, earning Kingdom Points to spend on new structures to help complete your Kingdom Ambition.
This game does deviate from the Sims standard theme of gameplay. There is more structure, the game expects you to complete the tasks and quests before you can move on.
Sims Medieval starts impressively, with a voice over from screen legend Sir Patrick Stewart. It continues this high standard throughout.
From what I have played so far, Sims Medieval is packed full of challenges and personalities. There is a lot of humour, so much that it will keep you going back for more. This is a good rival to old favourites like ‘Civilisation’. The difference here is fun, lots of fun!
For any Sims fan, RPG fan or fan of Medieval times this is a great pc Christmas gift option. £39.99 (RRP) is money well spent on what is an endearing and captivating game. As a bonus, you can get this on Amazon at less than half price.
